[lbo-talk] Graeber on wars

[shag carpet bomb]

here's Graeber discussing what he when he says that he thinks the 
anti-capitalist protests were successful and how wars might be a response 
to that success - or, rather, fear that they 8might become even bigger 
successes:

the beginning of his commentary starts here:

He provides an interesting overview of Immanuel Wallerstein's argument that 
all revolutions are world revolutions. He also glosses his approach to the 
political ontology of imagination - that what revolutions really do is 
change common sense.

The part where he discusses the possibility that anti-capitalist protests 
were successful and the connection to the Iraq war is here:

I also find his obsessive dislike of foucault amusing!
